Consumer Description

SINCE 2007 THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY WILL PERIODICALLY LUNG FORWARD AND IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE JUNE 2007 (88,000 MILES). EVEN HARD BRAKING DOES NOT NECESSARILY STOP THE CAR...I HAVE HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL THE ENGINE REVS UP AS IF I AM TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR (AND MY FOOT IS NOT ON THE PEDAL) AND I SHUT THE CAR OFF. TURNING THE CAR BACK ON DOES NOT NECESSARILY REMEDY THE PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, THE CAR ROUTINELY GOES INTO FAIL SAFE ENGINE MODE OR CUTS OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING AT A REASONABLE RATE OF SPEED BOTH ON RURAL ROADS AND HIGHWAYS. THIS CAR IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE, MORE SO IN THE WARMER MONTHS...MY THOUGHT IS SOMETHING MUST GET OVERHEATED BUT WHAT I DO NOT KNOW. *TR
